Download DirectX October 2006 SDK

It took a few days to ripple through the MSDN download servers but now its here:

• HLSL Shader debugging in PIX
• Xinput now has a GetKeyStroke API - wonder what that does?
• Managed DirectX 2.0 beta removed - no surprise there!
• DirectX control panel is now an app rather than inside the windows control panel
• ... and much much more

Note that Dave says its not officially supported with XNA - so you have been warned. Personally I will be going for it so I'll let you know how it worked for me! I will be keeping the August SDK for XACT since I know that one works with XNA. Note: multiple SDK installs is also not something that is supported but I've never had a problem.
